How do you Populate a Hyperlink in Access97VBA

How do you Populate a Hyperlink in Access97VBA

(OP)
I’m an aggressive newbie at Access97VBA and think this can be done – please help.

How do I determine the path, populate a hyperlink, and then store it in a table field?  If I have the name (unique name w/o extension) of a file defined in a table field and know that the file exists in some subdirectory under the root M:\Files\*.  I also know that the file extension will be one of 3 types (PDF/CIT/TG4).  I want the code to search everything in this root dir, find the file, return the complete path, populate the hyperlink, display the hyperlink with just the file name (w/o extension or path), and store it in another table field for that record.  The time it takes to run this search is not a factor.  2000+ records to update - prob done in batches of 100.  Thanx for any help in advance - SAIber
